When Ma Chunhua woke up, she found that she was in a carriage carriage with a quilt spread under her body. She could hear the squeaking sound of the wheels rolling through the carriage. She stood up and looked forward, and saw that it was already dawn outside.
, a man wearing a bamboo hat sat on the shaft of the car and drove.
Ma Chunhua was startled. Just when she was about to ask who the other person was and where she was, she saw the man in front of her turned to look at her. It was her senior brother Xu Zheng.
She remembered everything in an instant. Thinking of what happened at Merchant Fort, Ma Chunhua immediately burst into tears and asked quickly:
"Senior brother, where is my father? How is my father?"
Hua Twelve sighed: "Didn't you also see it at that time? Master and Merchant Fort were reduced to ashes in the fire. The iron house was burned and completely collapsed. Even if you want to find Master's bones for burial, it is impossible.
,Junior sister, please forgive me!"
Ma Chunhua felt a pain in her heart, her eyesight went dark and she almost fainted again, sobbing: "Daddy, you died so miserably!"
Hua Twelve turned his head and did not look at her. He just drove peacefully, but he still said:
"After Mrs. Shang killed Master, she also threw herself into the fire. Although I couldn't kill him with my own hands, I also killed Shang Baozhen with my own hands. It can be considered as revenge for Master and him!"
"ah......"
Ma Chunhua thought of how Shang Baozhen had been trying to please her every day in the past few months, and couldn't help but blurt out:
"It was Mrs. Shang who harmed daddy. Senior brother, why did you kill Mr. Shang too?"
Hua Twelve slapped Ma Chunhua with his backhand and slapped Ma Chunhua down in the carriage:
"Are you a pig? Didn't you hear me when I asked the servant at Merchants' Fort? It was Mrs. Shang and Shang Baozhen who set fire to the hall and killed Master!"
"What? Could it be that because Shang Baozhen is a pretty boy, you are so obsessed with it that you don't even care about the revenge of killing your father?"
Ma Chunhua didn't think so much just now, and blurted out those words. At this time, she was slapped, and after hearing Hua Twelve's punishment, she felt aggrieved. She thought that she would no longer have a father to love her, and she felt even sadder from it, and she spoke loudly again.
Start crying.
Hua Twelve said coldly: "Just cry, it's better to be louder. I shaved off my braids, and you killed the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. Now we are running for our lives. You want to attract others' attention and call in the official. We will
They all have to die here!"
Only then did Ma Chunhua realize that her senior brother was wearing a bamboo hat to cover up his haircut. She suppressed her crying, but she still shrugged her shoulders and sobbed softly.
Hua Twelve ignored her and continued to drive. When Ma Chunhua had cried enough and her sobbing gradually subsided, he opened the quilt from the corner of the carriage near the shaft and took out an oil paper bag.
After opening it, he took out a piece of bread, rolled up a goose leg and threw it in front of Ma Chunhua:
"Eat this and then drive for me. I haven't slept a wink all night. It's time for me to get some sleep!"
Ma Chunhua was not in the mood to eat at first, but when she heard her senior brother speaking to her in a commanding tone, and thought of the way his senior brother had been so cruel to her just now, she didn't dare to object, so she picked up the pancake and started to eat it.
After she had eaten half of the pancake and half of the goose leg, she whispered: "Brother, I'm done eating!"
Hua Twelve said "hmm", pulled the reins and stopped the carriage, then squeezed in directly from the door and signaled Ma Chunhua to go out and drive.
It was common for the sons and daughters of the escort agency to ride horses and drive carriages. Ma Chunhua took the whip of driving the carriage and sat on the shaft of the carriage aggrievedly. With a slight crack of the whip, the carriage continued to move forward.
After the carriage had walked for a while, Ma Chunhua's sad mood calmed down a little. She turned back to look at her senior brother and saw Hua Twelve with his eyes closed and his hands on his head. He didn't know whether he was asleep or not.
She couldn't help but ask: "Senior brother, are we the Backward Agency?"
Hua Twelve didn't even open his eyes, and said coldly: "We killed the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, why are we going back? Do we want the Tatars to catch Ling Chi and execute him? Then I will be cut three hundred and sixty-one times, and you will be cut three times."
One hundred and sixty dollars, do you think it’s fun?”
Ma Chunhua thought of the legendary scene of Ling Chi's execution, and shivered with fright. Then she asked a little strangely: "Why are they all Ling Chi? Senior brother, you were stabbed one more time than me?"
"that is because......"
Hua Twelve was originally a bad taste brought about by future generations. He said it casually, but who would have expected that this silly girl would ask more questions. He almost gave the answer casually, and couldn't help but shout: "Drive your car well, anyway we don't
Boomerang!"
Ma Chunhua was scolded and did not dare to ask again. After a while, she heard Hua Twelve say leisurely:
"I found the local escort agency in Wuding County and paid them to send a letter to the young and old men in our escort agency, saying that we had caused a catastrophe that killed the Nine Tribes and asked them to run for their lives. There will be no Pegasus Escort Agency in the future.
"
Ma Chunhua thought of the smiles and looks of the uncles and aunts in the escort agency. When she heard her senior brother say that he had already sent the letter, she couldn't help but feel a little relieved and nodded: "Senior brother is still thoughtful!"
Hua Twelve ignored her, but recalled the previous events in his mind.
He had lived in Merchant Fort for seven or eight months, and the terrain inside the fort was already familiar to him. After killing Shang Baozhen, he went to search in the rooms of Mrs. Shang and Shang Baozhen, and found Shang Jianming.
The handed down secrets of Baguazhang and Bagua Dao.
Then he went to the merchant's fort account room to find a thousand taels of silver notes and several hundred taels of silver.
After getting the money and the secret book, it was already dark. Hua Twelve was afraid that the fire would attract officials to check, so he couldn't stay for a long time and went to the stables to look for horses and carriages. Finally, he took Ma Chunhua and the carriage and left Merchant Fort.
In fact, after he killed Fukang'an, the most correct choice should be to imitate Wu Song's blood-splattered Yuanyang Tower and eliminate the roots, killing all the men, women, old and young, servants and maids in Merchant Fort.
As long as these people are killed, it will undoubtedly be much more difficult for the Qing government to investigate Fukang'an's disappearance, and he and Ma Chunhua will be safer.
But Hua Twelve has not reached that level of madness. As a modern man, if you ask him to kill innocent people indiscriminately, he really can't do it. He has set a bottom line for himself and only kills those who deserve to be killed.
So what we have to do now is to hurry up and run as far as possible before the court notices that Fu Kang'an has been killed.
Ma Chunhua drove for a while, then couldn't bear to ask: "Brother, where are we going?"
"Cangzhou!"
After Hua Twelve finished speaking, he ignored him and pretended to snore. Ma Chunhua wanted to talk to him, but seeing that he was like this, she didn't dare to scream again.
Wuding County was later known as Huimin County. It was more than 200 miles to Cangzhou, which was not a long journey. However, during the Qianlong period, it would have taken two days to travel by carriage.
In the blink of an eye, it was night, and there was an idiom saying that a person is tired and a horse is tired. Hua Twelve and Ma Chunhua were not tired at all. It was okay to drive all night, but the horses couldn't bear it and needed to rest overnight and replenish fodder and water.
Hua Twelve guessed that the incident in Merchant Fort would not happen so quickly, and he was not afraid of his whereabouts being exposed. As a couple, they found a wealthy family in a small town near Guandao and spent money to stay overnight.
At this time, the sky had darkened. Hua Twelve was wearing a bamboo hat, and no one noticed that he had shaved his braids. They saw that he had sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and an extraordinary temperament. He was accompanied by flowers and beauties. He did not dare to neglect at that moment and took the money.
Afterwards, he lent them a private room, replaced the bedding with new ones, and asked his servants to prepare dinner.
Speaking of Hua Twelve's appearance at this time, only in the eyes of those who know Xu Zheng, his appearance will slowly change until it subtly changes the inherent impression of his ordinary appearance and simple appearance.
In the eyes of others, what they see is Hua Twelve's original appearance.
Hua Twelve's appearance is absolutely handsome, and modern people take better care of themselves than ancient people. Regardless of skin and temperament, it is not comparable to people of this era, especially temperament. The Han people in the Qing Dynasty were used to groveling.
, and modern people are born with a self-confidence that transcends this feudal era.
Hua Twelve asked Ma Chunhua to go to the room first. He parked the carriage and fed the horses before returning to the side room to rest.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw that the servants of this family had brought dinner, two meat and two vegetarian dishes. Ma Chunhua was sitting at the dining table at a loss. She blushed when he came in and lowered her head, not daring to look at him.
"Have a meal!"
Hua Twelve felt that such a silly, sweet and nymphomaniac woman had to be trained slowly, so he was too lazy to talk to her. He planned to let her go for a while, said hello, sat down at the dinner table and started eating.
"oh....."
Ma Chunhua lowered her head and responded, then picked up her rice bowl and began to eat it in small bites. It was not at all like the feeling of eating meat in big mouths when she was in the escort agency.
After the two of them finished eating, Hua Twelve directly occupied the only bed in the room, went up, and closed his eyes without making a sound, hoping to see if Ma Chunhua would beg him if she didn't have a bed to sleep on.
Ma Chunhua silently packed up the dishes and gave them to the servants of this family, and then came back after a long while.
Hua Twelve closed his eyes when he heard Ma Chunhua walk to the bed, then seemed to put down something, then lifted his left foot, removed his shoes and socks, and then slowly placed it in a basin of hot water.
